Brentford is a town in Middlesex which has subsequently been absorbed into the urban area of London. There was no parish of Brentford; it was split between the parishes of Ealing and Hanwell. The part in Ealing parish was known as Old Brentford and the part in Hanwell parish was known as New Brentford. In 1894 Brentford Urban District was created, comprising two newly created parishes of Old and New Brentford. Brentford Urban District was abolished in 1927, merging with neighbouring Chiswick Urban District to form Brentford and Chiswick Urban District. Brentford and Chiswick was made a Municipal Borough in 1932 and was abolished in 1965 to become part of the London Borough of Hounslow.
